Far Right Republicans Upset with Concessions Made by Speaker McCarthy | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

Taking a look at the fallout from the controversial budget resolution, Speaker Kevin McCarthy had to make concessions to get the resolution passed, upsetting his far right colleagues. Professor and director of Graduate Studies in the Department of Politics at the Catholic University of America, Matthew Green, joins to share whether he thinks McCarthy's days as speaker are numbered and who could replace him. One of McCarthy's main opponents is Republican Representative Matt Gaetz of Florida, but he too might be under some scrutiny right now. Green discusses what the latest is on the rumors that the Ethics Committee is looking into his past and how that might affect his push to oust McCarthy as Speaker. Green tells us what he makes of the lack of funding for Ukraine and whether this is just a short term ploy to get the CR passed or whether it signals a shift in US policy towards the war in Ukraine. He explains whether he expects more of the same in November when this stop-gap runs out or whether the House Republicans will be able to get their act in order over the next 45 days and get a full, comprehensive bill agreed on. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
